Kibsey to Participate in Canadian PGA Tour’s Player Cup Tournament

Jul 15, 2011

King College senior Adrian Kibsey qualified for the Canadian PGA
Tour’s Players Cup Tournament on Monday, July 11, with a
score of 72. Kibsey is one of four people to make it out of a
field of 30 professionals and top amateurs vying for a qualifying
spot in the tournament.

As a transfer student from Warner University, the 2010-11 season
was Kibsey’s first with King’s golf team. During
the fall season, Kibsey led the team in scoring average.
Before the start of the spring season, he sustained a wrist injury
and was unable to play the remainder of the season.

“We are delighted with Adrian’s qualification for
the Player’s Cup,” said Brian Kamm, head coach for
Tornado golf. “He isn’t back to 100% yet but is
doing well. His qualifying for the tournament speaks volumes
for his talent and desire for the game.

“This past season, our team went from an unranked position
to the top 50 in NCAA Division II rankings. After
Adrian’s injury, we slid out of the top 50,” said
Kamm. “With Adrian’s return this fall, along with
several new freshmen on the team, we are setting our sites to make
the NCAA tournament.”

Round One of the Players Cup will begin at 7:30 a.m. on
Thursday, July 14, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Kibsey will tee off
Thursday morning to compete against 156 of the top professionals on
the Canadian Tour. The Players Cup is a 72-hole event from
July 14 – 17.
